We recommend that you come to the event changed and ready to run. You can leave your bag at the clothing deposit in the stands at the Stadium. Your number bib has a tear-off tag with your start number. Attach that to your bag when you hand it in and you can show your number bib when you come to pick it up.

START

Just like the Marathon, ASICS Stockholm High Five starts on Lidingövägen outside the Stadium clock tower. Assembly before the start is inside the Stadium and the start pens open about 10 minutes before the first start which is at 17:30. The preliminary plan is that there will be a further two starts with 3 minutes between. If you are going to run fast then it is best to join the first start group.

COURSE

The course will give you a taste of the wonderful marathon experience. And just like the Marathon ASICS Stockholm High Five has the same impressive start on Lidingövägen and finish in the classic Stockholm Olympic Stadium. We will also take you along and through ASICS Stockholm Marathons event area with the Royal Tennis Hall as the magnificent, new home for the Expo. The five kilometre course is mainly on asphalt with some gravel paths.

FINISH & AFTER RUN

After the finish line you will first get your medal and some snacks. Then it’s time for the After Run and our famous pasta party. Zeta will serve pasta, tasty bread and a cooling bottle of sparkling Pellegrino mineral water. Your number bib has another tag, marked Zeta Pastaparty, which lets you in to the After Run. We will have music entertainment and artists on stage.
